If you want to sell though you're not going to say anything else really. Having said that, everyone else got out on the back of reported losses so what he said is probably accurate.

He actually said that it might have made a small profit, he also said it just about broke even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only those who are in control of the finances would know the real answer, but regardless of that, you would hardly expect him to admit he was running at a loss when trying to sell the club any one in this position would always gloss over the facts , but I honestly believe which ever way it is that it's a minimal amount, and also believe if he was local to the area i'm sure he would not be selling the club as all the travel involved must be taking it's toll with a business to run in the Middlesbrough that probably doesn't get his full attention it's hardly surprising he wants to sell up regardless of the Redcar situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any prospective buyers would complete due diligence. You can't cook the books. Ged gets no benefit from lying. He's telling the truth.

Anyway everyone should hope that a buyer comes forward, sooner the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Skid Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 There's been more books cooked in Speedway, than burgers in McD. Running speedway is more about a guys ego, than his financial brain. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
